Harvard Law Student Council Passes Anti-Israel Resolution After Changing Voting Rules
Breitbart ^ | March 31 2024 | OEL B. POLLAK

Posted on 03/31/2024 11:16:49 AM PDT by knighthawk

The student council of Harvard Law School passed an anti-Israel resolution on Friday — after changing the voting rules to do so.

The resolution calls on Harvard University to divest from the Jewish state and anything connected with it. As the Daily Wire reported last week, the Harvard Law School Government amended its bylaws to allow for a secret ballot by its elected representatives for the first time in the history of the institution.

The Harvard Crimson reported that the resolution passed 12-4, with three abstentions. It resulted in two members of the council resigning in protest, condemning the change in voting rules and noting that the council rushed the vote before current members’ terms were about to expire.

I'm curious how many of these types of votes are influenced by muslims in staff? We see a lot of institutions now being political where they have no business and no history of doing that.

It has become pretty evident in Europe, where muslims have migrated and gained political power, they have refused to assimilate instead imposing their religious views through legislation and intimidation.

Have they begun making Jews wear Yellow Stars yet?
Stop Palestinian genocide, massacre Israel.

I’m sure the people who control the billions in Harvard endowments GAS about what the law school’s student council votes.

Sounds like the students at Harvard should all be conscripted into the military6 to fight in Ukraine

What do you mean by "now"? Or "no history of doing that"?

Corporations have been political since I can remember, at least since the early 1980s and maybe earlier. From my youth, I remember corporations bragging about their commitment to a clean environment, black and female empowerment, gay pride, and whatever else was fashionable at the time.

Universities have been political at least since the 1960s, and some even earlier.

Actually, universities were European hotbeds of revolution throughout the 19th century. In France, perhaps earlier.

The younger generation has made Israel the new South Africa and are shooting for the same boycott and divestment initiative that took down South Africa.

If I were a Harvard student, and I was Jewish, I would wear a yellow Star of David.

Your "now" and my "now" are way different in scope. I go back to the early 50's and the Eisenhower years and on.

Back then there was more of a sense of optimism and a sense of the old Superman intro "Truth, Justice and the American way".

Colleges and universities then were where you went for a serious education, not indoctrination.

I am sorry you never got to experience that era.

The rule change to a secret ballot to hate Jews is in response to Wall St firms saying they won’t hire Harvard grads. These cowards want to hate Jews and eat their cake too.

Young Leftist Idiots with heads full of Mush.

Remember, Harvard was a religious institution in the beginning.

Alums must reconsider their contributions and reign in this insanity!

Many universities in Israel offer degrees taught entirely in English, undergrad and grad in almost any field. No future in America for most young identifiable Jews anyway.

12-4 with 2 resigning?

It will be easy to determine all those voting to punish Israel for defending themselves.

Go to that task, Alums.

What a bunch of uninformed imbeciles. They know so little about the truth of all this that they’ve picked the wrong side.
